Hi! I absolutely love your way haha! I hate salads but I'm sure ill come round to them lol! ive just started out on a pump now so my whole routine has cocked up ! I'm definitely going to try your way, sounds easier than done though!

Aww haha thankyou for that little info with the milk and protein, ive been eating low carbs for 2 days and found my blood sugars are so steady but I also get hungry so quickly cause I eat a piece of meat and then loads of veggies, but somehow after 2 hours I feel hungy again :( ... I'm still...

Hey no i do carb count but ive been making all my food make up for 50grams including snacks like a yogurt... i use to be on 2-3 units a meal but i was underweight so now ive gone to 5 units but now all these complications are coming on and i just wonder if its the carbs that are bringing it on...

it does seem that low carbing is the best way, what type of carbs do you eat can I ask?

Hey :) yeah we spoke before I started bolus insulin 20 mins before and they went fab but then hypo 2 hours after and then the rollercoaster begins haha! hopefully this pump will sort me right out... I know brown basmati rice with nuts in is so good for my blood levels, but they run so low...

Yeah thanks for the heads up

Hi you have hit the nail on the head I'm having more hypos than anyone could imagine and I have horrible blood sugars after meals too! I think lantus doesn't suit me either but I'm going on a pump so my basal should be corrected soon, as for my meals I hardly eat much but when I do it has...

I'm type 1 and I'm on Humalog and lantus for night time, but I'm also on 600mg of pregablin which helps for nerve pain which constantly makes me groggy and tired ... I'm so grateful for all the advice

Haha thanks for the advice! I think I'm going to do it!! :D

Hi so sorry to hear about that my eyes are constantly having gunge in them every morning and night and I'm rubbing my eyes, my diabetes nurse told me to not do that as I can cause it to infect and told me there's no conjunctivitis so it can't be that.. ... I eat a lot of meat each week and...

Hi Clivethedrive can I ask what type of food you chose to eat each meal? And how many hypos do you have a day and what you decide to treat them with? I'm currently going through a bottle of lucozade a day and obviously a lot of digestives to help treat them ... My hba1c is great but my diet...

Also just to point out my hba1c came as 39, which the doctors got angry at and said I need to make it higher to stop hypos.. so my hba1c is great, but my complications aren't

I'm reading the solution book not the diet book. all I'm asking is it possible to reverse my damage with some carbs included or do I disregard them all like he did... better asking for other peoples opinions on this than just going with what the book advises

Hi everyone! I was recommended the Dr Bernstein Diabetes Solution Book, which I have found absolutely mesmerizing. The only negative thing I would say is his diet is very limited and hardly no carbs! Not to mention its expensive because as you know healthy foods in the UK are ridiculously...

Thankyou all for your replies, I can see that everyone has different ways to help them so I was intrigued to know what everyone else does that's so different to me, hopefully I can take away some of the stuff you have advised me with and regain some control to my bloods. I will definitely read...

Hi, I'm a type 1 diabetes been diagnosed 2 years ago but think I had way before. Anyways, I was wondering what everyones routines are? how are you keeping bloods under control? How do people manage to go the day without checking bloods more than 5 times? I'm forever checking mine. I also want...

Hi there! I've recently been put on the same tablets and folic acid due to being anemic(lack of iron/blood count). I've just come across your post and noticed your also having the same itching problems, so am I but didn't know they was related ... I'm even getting blood drawn from scratching...

That sounds so similar to me, I upped my dose and I had a hypo at 3am then at 5am and then 6 and carried on till 9 ... There's just no inbetween for me haha! Awful

Yeah spot on, I'm going to change it cause it's a joke now haha !

I'm literally on the way to my appointment with the diabetic nurse, I don't know any other basal insulins, do you know any other types I can suggest to them? Been thinking about the pump also but doesn't it cause a lot of hypos?
